    \textit{R. H. Bruck} has described a very general construction method which he called the extension of a set by a quasigroup [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 56, 141-199 (1944; Zbl 0061.05202)]. In this paper the authors discuss this method for endomorphisms of quasigroups. Recently [\textit{T. Kepka, M. K. Kinyon, J. D. Phillips}, J. Algebra 317, No. 2, 435-461 (2007; Zbl 1133.20051), \textit{P. Plaumann, L. Sabinina, L. Sbitneva}, Contemp. Math. 483, 221-227 (2009; Zbl 1183.20069)] progress has been made in this topic. It is known that in an \(LF\)-quasigroup the map \(e(x)=x\backslash x\) is an endomorphism, which the authors call the left deviation. In this situation Bruck's theory is avaible. The authors use it to construct a class of examples for \(LF\)-quasigroups \(Q\) in which \(e(Q)\) is a group.
